May Mixer - 48 Hour Film Project

Come on out for the Memphis Film Society May mixer and hear speaker Mark King talk about the upcoming Memphis 48 Hour Film Project. Here are the details about this new event:

CALLING ALL FILMMAKERS!!

The 48 Hour Film
Project, the largest filmmaking competition in the world, is coming to
Memphis! In a wild, sleepless weekend, you and your team will make a
short movie from scratch - that is writing, shooting, and editing in
only 48 hours. On Friday, July 13 you will get a character, a prop, a
line of dialogue and a genre, all in to include in your move. By Sunday,
July 15, the movie must be complete. Each completed film
is guaranteed a screening at Studio on the Square the following week.

Registration costs $125 per team, space will fill up
quickly so register as soon as possible. The is no limit on how many
people can be on a team.

For more information contact, Mark King, Memphis Producer of the 48 Hour Film Project at memphis@48hourfilm.com

Meet other Mid-South filmmakers, spend 48 hours in
intense movie making, have your film screened at the Studio on the
Square, and compete to represent Memphis against the other 48HFP cities
around the world! The top films from around the world screen each year
at the Cannes Film Festival!

Come out and make a movie!

The whole weekend sounds like it will be a blast since it includes a Kick-Off Party, a Drop-Off Party, a screening of the movies that are shot, and a Wrap Party with awards! Visit the official website of the Memphis 48 Hour Film Project and be sure to like them on their Facebook page.
